Jonas: 00:00 – 01:14 I think the usage of the sensors might be too extreme, I would like to see something more subtle and slow evolving when we know we are to do such a long performance? Maybe. But it was a nice intro.

Both: 05:20 – 07:00 We feel that this part has no obvious sense of direction.

Hedvig: When new impulses/patterns appear, we should not be scared to stay in them and we should avoid falling back into old habits in situations like these.

Jonas: 07:00 – 10:02 nice build up to a new part at 10:02.

Jonas: 10:02 This is a nice example of rehearsed parts easily being integrated into improvisational pieces.

Hedvig: 11:52 This is starting to get quite flat and uninspiring.

Jonas: Agree

Both: 12:42 Nice, sudden transition and a nice relief from the previous hectic part. The transition wouldn’t have been as relieving as this if the previous part hadn’t been “too long”, so was it too long?

Both: 12:42 – 14:36 Fresh start, but it might not be obvious enough that Hedvig is controlling the sound, if that is important.

Both: 14:36 – 18:11 Nice and balanced part, clam and easy.

Hedvig: It’s obvious that we stand for what we do and that we are on the same page.

Jonas: I feel that we are calm and just create art together, it’s not pretentious, just playing and having fun.

Hedvig: 18:11 – 20:30 I think this part was strange and choppy, but I liked it.

Jonas: The part might be a little undefined, but I like it.

Jonas: 19:49-19:54 I like that I use this sound just for 5 seconds, and not again.

Jonas: 19:54 – 22:40 – I like that it is minimalistic, but it could and should have been clearer landscapes musically.

Jonas: 25:18 Obvious change when Hedvig decides to hit the floor. Here Hedvig is really controlling the structure in the music.

Hedvig: 25:18 I like the feel of a “rewind in movements” from what happened before I sat down.

Jonas: I feel that this part well represents the shockwaves from the previous part. A well connected piece.

Both: 25:52 – 26:00 Awesome!

Hedvig: 26:52 This action summarizes my idea of my “rewinding”.

Jonas: 26:27 Nice trivial romantic sound.

Jonas: I like that Hedvig is siting down and dancing with just her hands.

Both: 28:15 We think that Hedvig easily could have sat down longer, since it was such a clear statement.

Both: 26:52 – 34:10 A nice part, not too much ambition, but as stated, is is rather trivial and easy to enjoy.

Jonas: 34:14 I like Hedvig’s contrasts to the slow evolving music.

Both: Nice calm ending, good recap.

Summary and overall thoughts:

The most interesting aspect with this performance was for us the trio format. It made us relax more and give more room as we knew that we could rely on Gunia to put new life into the piece if it were to “die out”. It also made us act more as one instrument since Hedvig’s movements was only controlling the output of the drums. We could think as one instrument and utilize some of the techniques we had rehearsed and enter some of the musical rooms we were accustomed to in interplay with Gunia. The trio format also made us go to places we had never been before and we were challenged to get out of our comfort zone. This is definitely something we will do again.
